Can you handle a typical Hot Wheels day filled with criminal racing gangs, huge loops, fast speeds, brutal crashes, and an arsenal of weapons? Hot Wheels Velocity X tests your driving skills in dangerous missions spanning five destructible levels. You must do whatever it takes to complete the missions--speed through loops, pull off wild stunts, catch big air off a jump, drive up walls and buildings, find hidden shortcuts, or simply just run your opponents off the road.
Problems
Somewhat Broken Shadows
Shadows are currently only rendered correctly by the very slow Software Renderer. When using any other rendering backend, shadows extend too far from the car, see issue 13862. This can be worked around using the following patch:
